Oops! Fashion Week posting is a bit spotty since free time has to be spent on homework, and I need more time to let all the fancy clothes I've been seeing ~marinate, so an outfit for now. I've been paying some homage to Hole/Courtney, as one with a tiara should.

Goody tiara, thrifted top and shoes, skirt was a gift from Miu Miu. Thank you Angie for taking this picture!

This is me at my first strip joint! The West Gentleman's Club, to be precise. The complexgeometries presentation was held there, and I was bummed to see there were no strippers. But I will still always remember that night as the night I Became A Man. Speaking of rites of passage into male adulthood, I saw Justin Bieber's documentary Bar Mitzvah montage last night. It was enjoyable! And in 3D. So when he pointed and sang "you make me smile," it was like I make him smile. I am pro-JB because someone has to be a tween dreamboat pop boy and he's not going away, but what started out for me as "I'm just gonna embrace him" has become a bit of an obsession. Plus he started out playing on steps outside a theater. Though that might've led the most annoying part of the movie:

A girl, about 12, is playing violin outside theater steps in Canada. JUSTIN BIEBER approaches, entourage and camera crew in tow, and stands before her with his arms crossed, grinning.GIRL: (After a few moments) Are you Justin Bieber?JB: WHY YES, YOUNG LASS, YES I AM. YOU SEE, I TOO USED TO PLAY OH SO HUMBLY ON THE STEPS OF THE OLE' THEATER, AND LOOK AT WHERE I AM NOW! SEE THESE WHITE JEANS I'M WEARING? SEE EM? 200 BUCKS, THESE BABIES COST ME. NOT FIT FOR DIRTY STEPS SUCH AS THOSE YOU PEASANTS PLAY ON, OH NO! SO REMEMBER TO ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS, AND MAYBE IF YOU'RE LUCKY, YOU'LL END UP LIKE ME! ME AND MY WHITE JEANS! (Hair flip.) NEVER FORGET THOSE WISE WORDS, YOUNGUN, AND BECAUSE I'M IN A GOOD MOOD TODAY, I'LL DROP THIS PRETTY PENNY INTO YOUR VIOLIN CASE.GIRL'S EYES: why are you here i don't care about your jeans let me play my classical violin god

WOw tavi you look awesome! I saw another pic of you on belle's blog, that almost made me pee my pants. Wait, not to act like an idiot but with were you in a strip club? Your outfit reminds me of a mermaid!

Girl, posture! Tall women cry when they see those slumped shoulders, however nicely encased they happen to be. Which they are, of course. But do your hair and humanity justice, and stand up straight! Physicians agree with me :)

Through my involvement in fashion (however tenuous and remote that may be), I’ve managed to create a number of important contacts. One of those happens to be Justin Bieber’s white jeans. After reading your recent blog post, they have composed a reply, and asked me to pass it on…

Dear Tavi,

Although appreciative of the mention, I can’t help but note the slightly sarcastic tone in your voice. $200 is a perfectly reasonable price to pay for a jean of my quality. Certainly I was not happy about finding myself in such unbecoming surroundings, but I have no doubt that the purity of my pristine, crisp whiteness was able to shine through! And as for your mention of Justin’s hair, well may I say that there has not been as powerful a combination of hair and white jeans, since my heroes and lasting inspiration, the Bee Gees hit the wireless with their remarkably high-pitched smash hit, “Stayin’ Alive” in the 70s.

And just to conclude, Tavi Gevinson… Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll end up with white jeans like me!

The self-portrait made me laugh--- it looks like an awkward school photo. I was going to deliberately do a mid-sneeze/anxious face for my school portrait, but the YEARBOOK NAZIS thwarted my attempt. >:(

To tell the truth, I am not into teen boys. By now, at the age of 25, I feel old enough to be their grandma, but I was not fond of them when I was in my teens and girls at my age suddenly became VERY interested in them. Actually I never fancied anyone younger than 30. True that Justin Bieber is still so much better than Rob Pattinson whom I truly hate for his part in Tweelight.

hey girl, the tiara good be a little bit bigger since you are miss world, don’t be shy. Again a total paradox: the top, the skirt and the location. The top gives your outfit a little bit of a strip club outfit (especially because of the fabric, although they normally wear it as tights in a strip club). The skirt looks so flirty and girly. So very nice look, but remember: bigger tiara next time.

love the tiara. i used to post on the hole.com/now kittyradio.com message boards a few years ago and there used to be a competition called 'fancy like a princess' where courtney would choose the winner and give them stuff like one of her dresses or a guitar. you would have fit right in with this outfit :)

I really like you Tavi, you reminds me of myself when I was at your age. And I like the mix between feminism and fashion that you make. Because so many people see feminism as the opposite of fashion, and ofcourse their is some really nonfeminism part of fashion (like the models who are not allowed to have body as real women). But their also a lot of fashion that just ART.

I gotta love on your hole obsession because this was exactly me at 14 as well. also, I wanted to comment because I have some hole barettes that I got on ebay many years ago. I would love to pass them onto another hole fanatic if you'd like them.

Zomg The Biebs is the most ridiculous person ever... it makes me happy and sad that a person like him exists in this world. I've always wanted to meet him and then we would fall in love like one of those Disney Channel movies. And then he'd be my hubby and buy me all the awkward Chloe shoes that I want. That would be TOO FUNNY.

Perfect fashion week outfit! I'm wearing a necklace with c-love's face on it right now. TW!NZAlso, I found a pair of Miu Miu heels at a thrift store last weekend that were kind of 90s/first season of SATC fugly, but they fit my huge (42) feet and were $13. Am I braindead for not buying them?I know the answer already.

PS- totz unrelated and semi-creepy, but I am digging your pit situation (situation?) in Arabelle's video! Am I allowed to say that to a minor?

Hi Tavi, I submitted to your magazine project with Jane Pratt early on but haven't heard back. Are you still emailing people? Really liked your i-D article btw, esp the acknowledgement that Andie's dress is a heinous, scene ruining misjudgement in an otherwise fashionable film. xoxo

I really ought to get myself a meshy type shirt, such as you've got there. Are your glasses prescription? Plus I know what you mean about Justin Bieber, as a person who currently resides near where he grew up. The fans here are just insane.

It's absolutely amazing how you can wear these clothes, and make them your own.I wish I could do the same, but I'm hopeless when it comes to putting clothes together to suit my personality, aka, fashion maths *sigh* if only I had the creativity of you.

Bahaha the bieber section made me laugh. Love the outfits and the blog in general, please check my blog out :Http:/charlottewears.blogspot.com/ Anyone else who checks it out please comment on my posts with feedback nd leave yoyr blogs so i can check it out to :)

Tavi, I just started reading your blog after I read your interview it Katie Couric. You are incredible. I know it's been said before, but I love that you are so genuinely passionate about fashion, unlike the many "fashionista's" who are shoved down our throats and are little more than the creations of clever marketing(ala Lauren Conrad). Instead you are talented extremely intelligent, down-to-earth and are not in the least bit over-sexed (ala Taylor Momsen). Even from the beginning you were brave enough to wear your own creations in middle school (that's pretty freaking brave!)I love that you are just a regular kid--(although there's hardly anything 'regular' about you) who happens to be extremely funny, intelligent and articulate, and now you are in this crazy dream life where you hop off to Paris for fashion week. Enjoy it kid--you earned it.My only hope is that you (or girls like you) are around some day when I have a little girl so you can continue to be a positive role model for young (and old 29 year-olds-like-me) women to express themselves. Please tell me what your parents did to encourage you to be so open and comfortable in your own BEAUTIFUL skin??I am in med school and work with lots of young women who do drugs or get pregnant to fit in. They could learn a lot from you! So, please,PLEASE keep being you, you are great at it! (Heck even if you want to start wearing black eye-liner, bare mid-drift tees and smoking salvia--we'll still love you! Additionally, I love anyone who is 1/2 Norwegian and 1/2 Jewish.(There are like 4 or 5 of us in the world) I am too! It's uncanny how much I looked like you when we were both 12. Except I incredibly tall..and my hearts desire was mathematics and not fashion, but Jewish-Norwegian Girls RoCK!Keep doing what you are doing!Judep.s.s. This is the longest ever post, but I read a long time ago that someone brought you back gourmet lollipops from San Fran and u loved them. I live in San Fran and the lollipops you are referring to our See's. I will HAPPILY send you some--if you tell me how!

OK , your kind of my - idol . Oh god your cringing already i can tell i am to . i read your article in teen vogue (L.A.M.B) and so i started my own blog i have no followers and no comments but i'm trying my hardest to make it good - please follow me and then comment or something because i look like such a Larry :L ps :who's that singing in the video and i love your outfit , whn your in that red lighting next to mirrors x ) xxxxxx
